    I rate this title off for age 17 and give it 1.0

    a nonstop barrage of trash

    This song is innapporpate for anyone under the age of about 40. The constant language is nonstop, almost every other word, and the mature themes this song discusses are completly vulgar and outright rude. It glorifies drugs and poop. I wont go into specifics, but I would not let anyone listen to this worthless garbage. I cannot see how they are even able to play this on the radio. Oh ya, Its not uplifting at all, it puts down all religions, races, genders, and personalities.
